Second title
editThe heading here claimed that Richard was "4th Earl of Gloucester jure uxoris"; I've deleted this because (as far as I can tell) he wasn't. He was married to Amice fitz William, who was co-heiress with her sisters to the Gloucester estates, but according to the Feudal barony of Gloucester article, the title was escheated to the crown until 1189 when it was granted to Prince John as husband of Isabella, another of the sisters. She kept the title until 1217 when it passed to Richard and Amice's son, Gilbert. I trust everyone is OK with that. Swanny18 (talk) 20:53, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
